Munna Chambal River Safari dholpur rajasthan - River port in Dholpur - Morena, India

After my driver mentioned he'd rather not have half a day off resting (he was given a poor quality room in our hotel), I checked Google Maps for things to do around Dholpur. A Chambal boat safari seemed like the obvious choice, The river wasn't too far away and it would bring the afternoon to a nice end. The wait for an actual boat nearly put me off, we sat in a tent, baking to death for over an hour. There were so shops or stalls selling water or snacks. However once we were out in the motor boat, we enjoyed ourselves (yes, my driver came too). The speed of the boat actually created a wonderful blast of cool air, and since the Chambal is one of the cleanest rivers in India, I had no qualms about soaking a small towel in the water and cooling my face down. I'm no wildlife expert, so I'm glad our boat driver/guide could point out all the species of birds that we came across. Turtles and a few Gharials were spotted too. I think my driver had a good time too, although he was probably disappointed with the photos he took on his mobile, no wildlife came close to our boat, a zoom camera was needed. One downer after the boat safari ended was the guide asking for his tip. The safari cost Rs2000. He was given Rs100 (would have been more if he hadn't have had the cheek to ask for it). Tip: A camera with a zoom is essential. Do not rely on your mobile phone for photography. Tip: Bring water with you and leave with your plastic!

Hi! Are you open now? I mean in the last weekend of September 2023?

Today I had opportunity to visit river safari it was very good experience, naturalist who guided us had excellent knowledge of the wildlife in that area. We could see migratory birds, crocodile, Gariyal, turtles. Thanks to Chambal Safari Lounge team especially Ms Anu the owner who is contributing not only in conserving the forest land but also making it popular across the globe.

Very nice place to visit, wonderful destination.

Very nice boat and safari riding with munna bhai

One of the most under rated excitements in Life. Not sign posted. Offered by the Raj Niwas Palace hotel in a luxury boat but expensive. Alternatively drive down to the bridge and turn Right just before the bridge towards the Ravine and then left towards the river old bridge. Kindly You will find humble boatmen ready to take you for one third the price and be sure to go on a sunny day

Waters are clean and clear.. Peaceful to b here
